ORBIT-USER: Virtual Mobility article on ORBIT website

[Arinto Murdopo]

Hi all,

I try to follow the example of Virtual
Mobility<http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/HowTo/virtualMobility>from
ORBIT website. After I install the patch (
orbitfilter.tgz), I try the sample command as stated in the website.
However, the result is not as I expected since it prints out error message.
Here are the examples

node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# iwpriv ath1 set_beacon 0
Invalid command : set_beacon
node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# iwpriv ath1 orbitfilter_rst 1
Invalid command : orbitfilter_rst

Here is the result of iwconfig command

node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# iwconfig
eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

Here is the output for ifconfig command

Actually I have patched the kernel before perform above commands by
following the instructions from the above link in Virtual Mobility. Here are
the complete commands when I patched the kernel:

node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# tar -xvf orbitfilter.tgz
ath/
ath/if_ath.c
net80211/
net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h
net80211/ieee80211_linux.h
net80211/ieee80211_var.h
net80211/ieee80211_wireless.c
node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# cp
/usr/src/madwifi/trunk/ath_rate/sample/*.ko /lib/modules/2.6.12/net
node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# cp /usr/src/madwifi/trunk/net80211/*.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.12/net
node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# cp /usr/src/madwifi/trunk/ath/*.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.12/net
node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# cp /usr/src/madwifi/trunk/ath_hal/*.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.12/net
node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# modprobe -r ath_pci
node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# modprobe ath_pci

My questions are:

1. Where I can find the ethernet address for each node? Currently I do the
test in sandbox 1.

2. Anyone has idea why the iwpriv commands in example above don't work
properly?

Thank you for your attentions

Regards,

Arinto
